When you speak negatively about Andrew Luck, people don't like it. He's no doubt the future of the NFL, and will have a tremendous career. But in 2014, his performance has been very overrated.
We live in a fantasy football-driven world, and Luck's rushing ability mixed with a high volume of passes make him one of the -- if not the -- best options in fake pigskin. But get this -- entering Week 15, Luck ranked eighth in the NFL in Passing NEP on a per drop back basis. With each drop back, he's been worse than players like Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger through the air.
Why? Turnovers. He's been a turnover machine, and that knocks you in NEP more than it ever would in fantasy football.
Week 15 wasn't kind to Luck, either, as he compiled a Passing NEP score of -10.74 thanks to, once again, turnovers. His NEP ranking will be dropping as a result.
He's certainly one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but he's still not part of that elite group, led by Aaron Rodgers, just yet.
